We’re building the OS for pharmacies of the future.
As selling drugs becomes automated & less profitable while healthcare costs skyrocket, we believe that pharmacies will transform from stores selling drugs to community health hubs — where anyone can get accessible, quality, and proactive care. And we want to be the technology backbone to accelerate this transformation.
MedMe’s mission is to build an all-in-one cloud-based platform that empowers pharmacists to schedule, document, and manage clinical services at scale. MedMe’s clients include the 2 largest pharmacy chains in Canada, servicing 3500+ pharmacies, and powering over ~14M patient services, including playing a critical role across the country throughout the pandemic. MedMe’s ultimate vision is to transform pharmacies from today’s dispensing locations to tomorrow’s health hubs.
MedMe has raised over $3.7M USD to date including from M12 (Microsoft’s Venture Fund), MaRS IAF, and Y-Combinator. 💡
💊Why Join MedMe?
We are a small and mighty multi-disciplinary team with past lives in data science, policy/social innovation, finance, consulting, kinesiology, and aerodesign. Fundamentally, we are all passionate about transforming healthcare by leveraging the untapped potential of pharmacists.

Key Responsibilities
We’re hiring a Full Stack Software Development Intern to join us in building Canada’s leading cloud-based clinical service management platform for pharmacies. Our web app allows patients to easily book services like vaccines and connect with their pharmacists virtually, while empowering pharmacists with digital tools to deliver these services at scale. Your work will have a direct impact on millions of Canadians coast-to-coast.
You’ll be working remotely with our lean and agile development team. On the day-to-day, you’ll be closely collaborating with peers on weekly feature enhancements and building new modules. Ideally, you’ll have exposure to building web applications – we use React, Node.js and Java with GraphQL and a Postgres database on AWS infrastructure. If you’ve had exposure with this (or a similar stack), you’ll find yourself at home here. We’re looking for motivated, driven individuals who love web technology and have a healthy ambition to learn. With those qualifications and our team’s support, you’ll have the opportunity for tremendous growth in your technology career.
As a Full-stack Developer Working At MedMe, Some Example Projects You Could Expect To Work On Include
At MedMe we are revolutionizing the role of pharmacists in healthcare.
• Creating new patient and pharmacist flows (eg. intakes, modules, features) to meet the needs of both our national enterprises and mom-and-pop pharmacy partners
• Responding to urgent rapidly evolving clinical and regulatory environment to create the features Pharmacists and their patients need today. Our pharmacists serve on the frontlines of healthcare delivery and every feature shipped is deeply impactful to their patients and practice
• Working with 3rd party digital health platforms (eg. archaic EHRs/pharmacy software, remote monitoring devices) to facilitate integration and data interoperability that allows pharmacists to deliver more personalized, proactive care
MedMe may be a good fit if you…
At a high level, we’re after individuals who have an appetite for growth both personally and professionally within every feature and project they own. We’re a passionate startup team with a tenacious work ethic and we rely on each other to succeed. We expect you to contribute to that team dynamic, while also enabling you to thrive and continuously grow during your time here.
We have a start-up culture where we stay on our toes, ready to pivot to support new vaccine rollouts, new legislations, or just plain better product ideas. We’re looking for candidates who share this entrepreneurial spirit. A key to making this culture work is clear and open communication. Every team member cares about feedback, enjoys collaboration, and communicates clearly and effectively.
Compensation
We pay interns $25-$30/hour CAD depending on experience and impact. We provide a flexible health benefit plan to all employees as well as professional development support
